In an attempt to regulate his breathing, Aryan was inflating and deflating his cheeks with each huff and puff. Already he was thinking about never, ever coming back up here again because of the trek, though the view certainly was worth it. Approaching footsteps broke into his little moment of focus.
He said nothing as Vera approached and then took a seat. Ary simply watched her, {while he pretended as though he hadn't nearly just died while getting up to the Battlements} trying to get a read on her mood. Maybe she just wanted some peace and quiet. Maybe she just wanted the calming breeze to soothe her soul. Or maybe -
Nevermind.
She wanted to talk.
Well, hi to you too, Vera.
Ary shrugged his thin shoulders. “Exploring somewhere, I guess.” As much as the two spent time together, Ary sometimes took off on his own. “What brings you up here?”
Excuse her skepticism that Bryony Paton was willingly off exploring without Aryan Atreyu-Rehman. Her look probably showed as much as she side way glanced at him, an eye row raised. She supposed it would be very Bry too though if she was off with one of her siblings or even her Mum. And knowing how delightful the blonde was, Vera was certain she'd made oodles of other friends too. Though she was just as certain Aryan would remain her favorite.
Letting the absence go, she continued to look out over the battlements - speaking again after his question.
"Exploring of my own. I heard this was a trek so I hadn't done it yet but… worth it. The physical ness of it felt really good too. Did you enjoy the climb? And how's settling in here going?"
